Theater & Drama (B.A.)

The B.A. in Theater and Drama is designed to serve students who aspire to become theater performers, teachers, theater technicians and managers or those who wish simply to gain a broader knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world around them as part of a strong liberal arts education. It also prepares students for graduate work.

Learning Outcomes for Theater & Drama Majors

Students will articulate their grasp of the many facets of theater, including its history, literature and performance, through writing, speech and their own performance.

Students will acquire the verbal and writing skills necessary to master the processes of analysis, criticism and interpretation unique to theater and, yet, interdisciplinary as well.

Students will develop their skills in acting, directing, design and management both on and offstage and in the classroom, making the link between the “page” and the “stage.”

Students will be prepared to succeed in the professional world of theater, in graduate school, teaching or working in community settings.

Students will collaborate with fellow students and faculty in developing their own levels of focus, discipline and responsibility within a creative environment.
